W. H. PoTell's gin, near Battle
boro, was burned a few nights past,
with fifteen bales of cotton therein.
The loss is about 81 900. 1t was an
accidental fire.
Mr.. Lucian Burnett's residence,
in Chatham county, was burned a
few days ago. The loss is about
5000, with no insurance. A re-
markably small percentage of
houses in the county are insured.
The stockholders of the North

A novel and most alarming in-
stance of the possible encroach-
ments of labor upon capital came to
light Saturday. From the far-away
mountains of Montana the news was
received that young Mr.. Seligman
efthis city had been seized by a
band OF miners and held as host
age for the payment of wages due
from the company which he repre-
sented. It seems that Mr.. Seligman
was on his wedding tour, and the
miners no sooner seized upon this
fact than they seized upon the bride
groom himself, constituted thems
selves his uncle, put him in pawn,
and sent the tieket-the amount of
their claim against the company-to
the horri6ed bride at Helena. The
back pay was forthcoming at once,
Mr.. Seligman was redeemed, and
restored, frightened, but unhurt, to
his franticwife.

COUNTY Government.

SOUNTH OOVERNMENT.
In the House on Friday last, discussing
the county government bill, Mr.. Oakley
sent forward an amendment 'that all
County commissioners be required to
give bond in the sum of $1,000 for the
faithful discharge of their duties and the
proper expenditure of all moneys" Mr..
PriLchard did not admire that part of the
old constitution which required voters
to be owners of land to be entitled TO
vote for Senators, and that if the present
system is allowed to remain we will soon
have the property qualification. He
thought the change, in this body was
due to the arbitrary action of the COM
missioners of Buncombe county, and not
the question of the stock law. He hoped
Mr.. EWart's amendment, exempting GER
tain eastern counties from the provisions
of the county government bill, would not
prevail.
Mr.. Holt favored the present system
of county government, because it is just
and right. He sent forward the follow
ing amendment: provided, that when
any county is shown by the census to
have majority-of colored voters. it
shall be exempted from this act II
Mr.. Brogden read long speech from
manuscript, he refused to be interrupted.
His speech caused much laughter. IL
Mr.. Parsons warmly endorsed the
present system, thought Mr.. Ewart'e
amendment was clearly unconstitutional.
Mr.. Macon favored Mr.. Oakley s amend.
ment.
Mr.. Ewart said he expected every Re-
publican to vote against his amendment
he attacked the Democratic party for not
bringing its criminals to Justice and
mentioned Littlefeld.
Mr.. Overman said that the Democratic
Governor had sent both to Florida and
New Jersey for Littlefeld, but had each
time been refused by the Republican
authorities of both States.
Mr.. Sutton thought the only object Of
Mr.. EWart's amendment was to make
party capital. By the amendment they
admit that the law is just and right. All
counties under Republican rule were
plundered and ruined. Under the pres.
ent system they had became much i'm
proved, and cited his county as an
instance.
The previous question being called, the
question was upon the adoption OF the
different amendments. Mr.. Holt's amend.
ment was lost-104 to l. Mr.. Lyon With
drew his amendment. Mr.. 0akley'e
amendment was accepted by the intro
ducer of the substitute. Mr. Ewart's
amendment was lost-l07 to o.
